After a successful run in 2012, I am pleased to announce that the SMASH! Anime Music Video competition is back for 2013, and this time, we are giving you guys an extra month to prepare! Therefore, you guys have more time to enter! :3

The basic details:

When is the competition open:NOW!When do we accept submissions:May 1, 2013 (The reason why we accept submissions after one month of opening is because we are currently working on a new submission form that is integrated into the main SMASH! Website. While we know you guys are excited to submit your AMVs, we apologise for this inconvenience and we appreciate your patience. *bows*)When is the deadline: Saturday, 20 July 2013, 11:59 p.m. (GMT+10 – For other timezones, please see the end of this post).

Here are the categories for SMASH!:- Action- Comedy/Parody- Drama/Romance- Upbeat/Dance

In addition, you can also win the following awards too:- Best Technical award- People’s Choice award- Judge’s Choice award- Down Under award (NEW – For Australians only)

We also have a new AMV competition, a tournament style event, unique to the convention and the first of its kind in Australia, know as the SMASH! Blitz AMV Tournament: You can find more details in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=112867

If you have any further questions on the AMV competition (or even questions about the con itself!) please do not to hesitate to contact me (or Renato who lurks around here sometimes) via this thread here, or through email to the AMV team: amv@smash.org.au

Looking forward to see you guys enter into the competition! :3

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd now, People's Choices is now Open to vote!

Please note that the video quality of the streaming of entries is low due to the amount of bandwidth our servers can hold. The AMVs that we will show during convention day will have better quality. We appreciated your understanding and apologise for any inconvenience caused. If any problems you come across during the Online Voting contact amv@smash.org.au

And here it is! http://amv.smash.org.au/ It's a rating system now. You can rate one AMV or all of them if you wanted to haha.
